3. HubSpot
HubSpot business card scanner
Best for: HubSpot users who want to streamline their contact management
Price: Free in HubSpot CRM (Paid plans start at $15/user/month)
Notable features:

Built into HubSpot
Lets you select the specific fields that you want to import
Saves scanned cards into your contacts
Summary: HubSpot’s business card scanner is built into the HubSpot app itself. They advertise the useful ability to select which fields you’d like to import, mapping fields from the card to match the data within the CRM. Although useful, this manual process takes a considerable amount of time for a salesperson on the go.

Watch out for: Tediously mapping fields on the mobile app while trying to get somewhere.

4. Insightly
Insightly business card scanner
Best for: Businesses using Insightly’s CRM for direct integration and contact upload automation
Price: Starts at $29/user/month
Notable features:

Limit on number of scans—and the numbers are low: 15, 25, or 50/month, malaysia area code depending on your plan. Plans are $29, $49, and $99 respectively

Can add tags to the cards
Summary: Insightly’s business card scanner limits users’ number of scans per month to 15, 25, or 50, depending on the user’s plan. That’s a huge red flag. (The $99/month plan only allows for 50 scans per month.) This is an absurd billing method: There are stretches of months when salespeople collect no business cards whatsoever and other months full of conferences wherein hundreds of cards are collected, so the monthly limit is a turnoff for prospective users.

Watch out for: The unrealistically low number of scans allowed.

5. Nimble
Nimble business card scanner
Best for: Sales professionals and small businesses prioritizing relationship-building
Price: $24.90/user/mo
Notable features:

Adds the person as a contact within your CRM
Does not automatically detect fields, so users need to select each phone number and email address from the “other” category
Summary: Nimble’s built-in business card scanning software is a comprehensive scanner that adds the contact’s info to your CRM, but with a (big) catch: Fields aren’t automatically mapped to match the fields in the CRM. Users of this app will need to manually specify which fields belong to which corresponding categories. This extra work is definitely not ideal for conferences and events.

Watch out for: The mobile app crashes, lags, and freezes. One user writes, in a one-star review, “[the application] crashed 3 times in a row just trying to write this review.”
